Thanks for starting that group Steve. So, you are in Washington State. Weather must be getting better there and looking more like riding weather. Ken Fletcher...
Just last week I rode my 82 YZ490 after Frankensteining some IT465 parts onto it. Put the 465 right case half and the 5 speed tranny into the old yz. Once...
Ok ... this is strange .... I have the posts from this group sent to my email so I can read them each morning. I had received a post from Steve saying he...
Hello Everyone, Here’s and update and some more questions if your will indulge me... I bought the ’82 IT465 that I had been looking at... Got it for...
The first thing I’m working on is the pipe. I agree on the pipe – find a good welder and have it fixed. You don’t want a muffler shop bent pipe even if...
I’ll give it a try. I’m assuming your forks are not cartridge forks. I think ’88 was the first year for those in the 490. I know it was for the 125 and...
Don't be dismayed. In the link found in Steve's email, there is a comma. When you click on the link, the comma is inserted in the address line of the browser....
What do you guys/gals think of a IRC VE33 5.10x17 rear tire on an IT465 for good old Oregon Mud and dirt? I have a worn cheng shin and it it so hard it dig a...
Trey, I have a complete silencer from an 82 IT250 that I'd sell you for $15 + shipping. It has the insert in the end and is in decent shape, but could use...
Hey Stan, Wahoo! Absolutely, I’m interested! In the silencer for sure – maybe in the pipe as well. I have a buddy whose dad is a welder. I didn’t know...
Trey - you are going to love that bike Steve YZ465G Yz465H IT465H ... maybe in the ... how much ... repair my ... called me ... the next ... payment and ... ...
Ken, I just ordered that tire from Rocky Mountain MC. I ordered it based on the opinions of some of the members here. If you can wait, I will let you know...
Thanks for the answer on that Pat. I saw that tire at a local Bike Shop and and it looks pretty good. He wanted $69 for it and would mount it free. I think...
Good Morning from Oregon Guys/Gals. It's Spring, it's warm, and, it's time to ride. I have been looking at Motorcycle Racks of various brands for the hitch...
Hey Guys, I saw this gas cap on ebay. Do you think it would fit on my '82 IT465? If not do you have any suggestions? The “cap” I have has the threaded side...
Hey everyone, I hope you can help me. I was going to take the rear wheel off my IT465 this evening - piece of cake right? WRONG! I would swear the thing is...
Thanks Joel, I finally got it out. Wow! The axle is still “frozen” into the brake hub though. I’d swear the thing was pressed into that hub! I may try...
Hello folks, I've got another “gitcha”... When I first looked at the bike (IT465) the guy who had it told me that the rear wheel bearings needed to be...
Hi everyone, I posted a photo of my 82 IT465 on the new YamahaITGallery forum. It is the one labeled Kenrf48's IT465. She is ready to go! We Must Ride! Ken...
Well Trey, hoping you get a helpful reply to your spoke problem. The spokes on my '85 IT200 also came loose and was unable to tighten them without breaking...
I had to take the tire off the wheel, clean every spoke and nipple with a wire brush, then lube everything with penetrating oil for a few days. Probably over...
Thanks guys, Yes, I’m thoroughly freaked out right about now. There may be a silver lining in this cloud though. At some point in the past, someone had put...
Hello from Oregon, One thing that could work if 17" spokes are hard to find or cannot be found. Look to see if there is a tool store that has a thread cutting...
Good advice on the spokes. If you decide to go for a new wheel you might as well go all the way and put a disk on it since you are buying a wheel anyway. On...
Hey folks, As I understand it the carb is a standard 38mm like on my ’82 IT465J. I’m waiting for him to get me a price and a picture of it. I’ll pass it...
a question i'd like to ask at this point is whether carbs 'wear out' or not. do slides wear in the bore - if so, what does it do? how often should needles be...
Thanks Trey - looking forward to it! Steve ... IT465J. I'm ... it along ... some I don ... then pass on ... all ran ... different carb, ... that RON or ... ...
